Baack Spaten

Baack Spaten has been forging spades from a single piece of the best carbon steel in the tradition of the old masters since 1878. More than 150 hammer strikes produce a highly compact steel and thus a spade blade that is extremely break- and wear-resistant. The experience results in tools that enjoy a unique reputation among professionals from tree nurseries, the garden and landscaping trade as well as underground engineering.

D-handle: The continuous handle piece allows effortless working, because the fingers do not have to be spread, contrary to the T-handle. The handle of the spade is straight and the blade is slightly angled. This model is therefore designed for more precise work such as cutting out root balls.
Spade length: If you are taller than 185 cm (6 ft) , standard spades are often too short and not ergonomical to use. Therefore, a spade with a longer handle is recommended. By rule of thumb: When you extend your forearm out in front of you (keeping the upper arm by your body), the spade should reach your outstretched hand. This will ensure comfortable digging and avoid straining your back.
